From the Natchitoches Parish Fair’s website:
At the Natchitoches Parish Fair we have been showcasing the talents of the kids and adults of Natchitoches Parish since 1937.
Your fair is a family oriented week of fun and entertainment. There is something for everyone.
The Natchitoches Parish Fair is a production of the Natchitoches Parish Fair Association, a non-profit association of your friends and neighbors.
The fair midway, produced by Evans United Shows, is the largest in West Central Louisiana and includes numerous rides for young and old. Also food concessions to satisfy everyone's hunger and thirst for miles around.
